633. White Horse Siege

Li Wangyuan and others are hiding in this mansion.

Obviously, with tens of thousands of troops as the backing, he still drove the expedition in person, and Li Wangyuan fell into such a situation, Li Wangyuan can be regarded as sad.

And after learning that the ground army in Shuzhong also arrived, this naturally made matters worse.

Li Wangyuan and the others' faces changed, first angry, and then helpless.

It is true that Shuzhong is bullying people, but when it comes to fighting, how can there be a war that does not bully people?

In the past, when there were more hot air balloons in the Western Xia army than the Tiger Ben, Antlers, and Iron Horse Army in Shuzhong, didn't you rely on the hot air balloons to beat the three white horse armies?

Now that more hot air balloons have gathered in Shuzhong, a tooth for a tooth, Li Wangyuan and others have nothing to say, they only feel aggrieved.

This is really a cycle, and retribution is not happy.

Zhongsun Qifu has become a lot older and weaker over the past few days, and coughed softly: "Your Majesty, why don't we abandon Chongqing Mansion?" ”

Li Wangyuan frowned, "But if that's the case, wouldn't our hard work in Kuizhou be completely in vain?" ”

Zhongsun Qifu said: "Even if there is no Chongqing Mansion, we will at least take down other places in Kuizhou." Give the Song Dynasty some more benefits, and they may still be happy to take over Kuizhou. Moreover, this battle is not because we are unwilling to defend the city, but because we are really unable to do it. The old minister recently studied what the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty did, and to put it to the point, it was quite benevolent and righteous. Maybe he can understand the helplessness of our Xixia, and at that time, it is not impossible to put Princess Xiushu back. ”

Li Wangyuan still hesitated, "But we have already offended Zhao Yu before." ”

He sighed and said, "I am more familiar with Zhao Yu than you, and I went to him for trouble when I was still with Princess Mingzhu of the Yuan Dynasty. And in the end, we all fell in his hands. This Zhao Yu treats his own people with benevolence and righteousness, but when he treats outsiders, he is afraid that he will not be so easy to speak. If he insists that we take the whole of Kuizhou, then we will have to attack Chongqing with all our strength, and the damage will inevitably be even greater. Otherwise, there will only be abandonment of Kuizhou, and it will be even more of a loss of money, silver and horses, and there will be no benefits at all. ”

In fact, the abandonment of Chongqing Mansion in Western Xia is undoubtedly the best way to preserve troops. However, not only Li Wangyuan, but also many other Western Xia generals were also reluctant.

This seems to be the psychology of a gambler, who has pressed the heavy bet into it, but folded the card, how can it not be heartbroken? How can you be willing?

Seeing that Zhongsun Qifu and the others did not speak, Li Wangyuan said again: "I think it is better to continue to hold on to Chongqing Mansion and wait for the Great Song army to come. According to the time, the Great Song army should not be very far from this Chongqing Mansion. When the time comes, we should be able to hold Chongqing. And even if we can't hold it, we can also throw Chongqing Mansion to the Great Song Army, withdraw and leave. ”

Zhongsun Qifu suddenly smiled, and he was very pleased, "The emperor is sage." ”

These important ministers of Western Xia, anyone can find out recently that Li Wangyuan has been thinking more and more about things. This is undoubtedly the blessing of the Western Xia Society.

In the past, Zhongsun Qifu always tried his best to make Li Wangyuan obey his ideas, but now, he was willing to give up his thoughts and obey Li Wangyuan's orders.

It is impossible for a puppet emperor to grow too fast.

This old minister, who was loyal to the Western Xia royal family, was obviously more willing to see that Li Wangyuan had more and more opinions of his own, rather than obeying him.

"The generals obey orders."

Li Wangyuan gave an order, "You all lead your corporal to resist the siege soldiers in Shuzhong in the city, and you must not fight with great fanfare, and give those soldiers on the hot air balloon in Shuzhong a chance." We don't try to defend the entire Chongqing Mansion, as long as we delay the time, and wait until the Great Song Army arrives in this Chongqing Mansion before making a decision. ”

"Yes!"

The generals commanded.

The commander of the Flying Army was slightly puzzled, "Your Majesty, then the general"

Li Wangyuan sighed: "General Qu, you will take the soldiers of the Qi Tian Army to stand by first!" ”

He was really reluctant to let Qi Tianjun go into the air to die, and it was not easy for him to get this bit of family background.

Helian Cheng and the others left the mansion.

There are not many soldiers on the streets of the city, but in the dark, I am afraid that there is an undercurrent.

The hot air balloon in Shuzhong and the ground army arrived outside the western city wall of Chongqing Prefecture almost at the same time.

There were no Western Xia soldiers guarding the dilapidated city wall, and the white horse army in Shuzhong easily entered the city, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

When they arrived in the city, the hot air balloon in the air first dropped thunderbolts in the air to bomb them, opening the way for the ground troops.

This forced Helian Cheng and the others not to show their heads at all, some could only continue to hide, and some retreated to the depths of the city.

The Western Xia army in the city was scattered, and now, it is obvious that it can no longer be co-ordinated and commanded, and it can only be said that it is independent.

Fortunately, when the hot air balloon in the air swept past, the Western Xia army hidden in the shadows finally got a chance to take the lead.

A general led his soldiers to rush out from all over the city, approaching the White Horse Army in Shuzhong very quickly, and then started a fight.

Although the Western Xia soldiers who were scattered in the sand were naturally not the opponents of the White Horse Army with a huge formation, they undoubtedly hindered the speed of the White Horse Army to plunder the city.

The hot air balloon army named Shuzhong in the air, which is actually the Dali Earthquake Army, did not turn back, but continued to bomb the city.

The biggest weakness of hot air balloons is that when the two sides are fighting in close combat, it is difficult to make a difference.

It doesn't matter which side of the soldier is when the thunder explodes, those who are touched are either dead or injured.

In the middle of the White Horse Army, there are chariots.

There was someone on the chariot, with a green shirt like jade and a cold expression, it was Qin Han.

Taking Chongqing Mansion is of great strategic significance in Shuzhong, and he, a rare soldier wizard in the Guigu Academy, also went out in person.

A scout hurriedly ran to the chariot and knelt down, "Boss, there are Western Xia troops rushing out from all over the city, hindering the advance of the army. ”

Qin Han nodded imperceptibly, "Pass the order down, and kill it wantonly." It hurts them, and they don't dare to come forward. ”

"Yes!"

The scout departed again, accompanied by a few heralds.

Qin Han rubbed his thumb lightly, and whispered to himself, "Scatter your forces to hinder our army's siege, Li Wangyuan, are you waiting for the Great Song army?" ”

He was still as confident as ever.

Although the ground troops he brought on this trip were actually only more than 30,000 soldiers in Tongchuan Prefecture, the number should not be comparable to the Western Xia soldiers in the city, but he had a great grasp of taking Chongqing Mansion.

Because the Western Xia army was in its own way, the combat effectiveness that could be formed was inevitably greatly reduced.

Just imagine, it will take a long time for 50,000 people to kill 50,000 people. But what if one of them is only 5,000 or 5,000 people in turn?

I probably can't escape the fate of being devoured one by one.

At this time, the Western Xia army that emerged from all over the city was experiencing such devouring.

In order to prevent the hot air balloon in the sky, they simply can't gather too many soldiers.

The heart of the army, the White Horse Army must win a few chips.

The sound of bombing was incessant.

One after another, war reports were passed to Li Wangyuan, Zhongsun Qifu and others hiding in the mansion.

The White Horse Army was like a bamboo, and the Western Xia army was defeated and retreated. Small groups of troops who rushed out of their hideouts were slaughtered one after another.

This made Li Wangyuan and the others more and more ugly.

It's late in the evening.

The Western Xia army's wounded soldiers may not have hurt their muscles and bones, but Nuoda's Chongqing Mansion was actually captured by the White Horse Army.

The White Horse Army obviously carried a lot of thunderstorms, and the bombardment of hot air balloons in the sky almost never stopped.

The cost of this kind of thing is very low, and it is too easy to build.

Some Western Xia generals persuaded Li Wangyuan to withdraw from Chongqing Mansion.

However, this suggestion was ultimately rejected by everyone.

Now that the two sides are already fighting, if the Western Xia army goes out of the city, can they escape the soldiers in the city and the hot air balloon in the sky?

And retreating will inevitably lead to a sharp drop in the morale of the army, which is more important. A disheartened army, no matter how large the number is, probably can't escape falling apart.

Li Wangyuan and the others could only bite the bullet and continue to send orders to let the generals lead the soldiers to block the White Horse Army.

They are now riding tigers.

Probably, the Western Xia army was able to conquer the city at such a speed, which was beyond their imagination.

Even Zhongsun Qifu sighed, "There must be excellent generals in the Shuzhong army." ”

If it was an ordinary general, even if the Western Xia army was independent, it would probably be impossible to capture half of Chongqing Prefecture in such a short period of half a day.

And when the war raged in Chongqing, outside the east gate of the city, there was finally dust fluttering.

Yue Peng led two thousand light horsemen to march quickly, and now he finally arrived at Chongqing Mansion.

Not far outside the city, hearing the sound of explosions in the city, Yue Peng waved his hand to stop the army, hesitated for a moment, then lowered his face and waved again, and said, "Enter the city!" ”

As long as the White Horse Army in Shuzhong has not captured Chongqing Mansion, then this Chongqing Mansion is the Chongqing Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty! It is not the Chongqing Mansion in Shuzhong that sells dog meat with a sheep's head.
